FAMILY DAY: Old Media New Methods

Old Media New Methods

Open House Family Day at 516 ARTS

Some of the artists in the Digital Latin America exhibition employed outdated methods of technology and used them in new ways to create a desired aesthetic and to convey their concepts. In this spirit, 516 ARTS invited visitors to learn about these artists' methods and create their own art objects using old school technology. Visitors had the chance to study and think about the artwork in the exhibition and then learn how objects like Zoetropes and flip books related to older methods of creating films and videos. Visitors would make their own Zoetropes, flip books and other objects to take home. The event was open to all ages with an informal presentation format to promote an environment of community creativity and discussion.
